More legal action is expected over the deaths of 10 people killed in the Ballymurphy shootings of August 1971.
Solicitor Paddy Murray, who represents nine of the 10 families, said further legal action is being planned. One of those avenues is civil proceedings against the Ministry of Defence and in parallel with the inquest the families initiated those proceedings, he told BBC Radio Foyle. They were stalled pending the outcome of these findings. Given the very critical commentary by the coroner we will be moving forward with some vigour in relation to the civil action .

There is to be an independent, external review of how the Education Authority (EA) supports children with special educational needs (SEN).
The Department of Education (DE) has not given a timescale for the review but said it would begin as soon as possible.
MLAs also heard that public confidence in the EA had been totally shattered .
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report is the most recent of a number of damning reports into how the EA has failed to support some children with SEN.
Irish language signs introduced to Glider route in west Belfast Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon with Piarais MacAlastair from Forbairt Feirste
Irish language signs have been introduced to the Glider route in west Belfast.
Bilingual on-board next stop signs can be seen on services operating from Millfield to McKinstry Road and at the Colin Connect Hub.
Buses operating Metro 10 services have displayed bilingual signs since a public consultation by Translink in early 2011.
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon visited the Colin Connect Hub to launch the new Glider signs today. This is a positive step forward in giving the Irish language the visibility it deserves on our public services and within our communities, she said.
